Hydroxylation de l''estrone et de son acétate par le peroxyde d''hydrogéne en milieu superacide

Estrone 1a and its acetate 1b react with hydrogen peroxide in SbF₅-HF to give hydroxylated compounds. The formation of the dienone 2 can be accounted for by reaction of the electrophile H₃O₂⁺ on the neutral substrate, whereas formation of compound 3b implies electrophilic attack on the protonated ester 1b. Higher acidity favours rearrangement of the resulting ion 9 to yield, through a spiro intermediate, the ester 4b. Under the reaction conditions esters 3b and 4b]are slowly converted into the corresponding phenols 3a and 4a.     

Extraction liquide-liquide par des esters alkylphosphoriques. I. Extraction de l'yttrium par l'acide di-(2-éthylhexyl)phosphorique

The extraction of macro-amounts of Yttrium from solutions of nitric and perchloric acids by di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid has been studied. The extraction of Yttrium is more effective from the perchloric medium and takes place by two mechanisms: an ion-exchange reaction Y³⁺/H⁺ at low concentrations and a solvatation reaction at high concentrations of Yttrium. The stability constant of the mononitratocomplex YNO has been estimated.     

Extraction liquide-liquide par des esters alkylphosphoriques. II. Extraction des nitrates de béryllium et des autres alcalino-terreux par le tri-n-butylphosphate

The solvent extraction systems Be(NO₃)₂? HNO₃? H₂O? TBP/kerosene and M(NO₃)₂? H₂O? TBP/kerosene (TBP = tri-n-butylphosphate, M = Be, Mg, Ca and Sr) have been studied. The alkaline earths elements are poorly extracted. Only very high acidities allow better extraction of beryllium. The sequence of extraction of the alkaline earths elements by the TBP depends on the concentration of the cations and is Ca > Be > Sr > Mg if the metal concentration is lower than 2 M.     

Interactions Intramoleculaires—X: Etude par RMN des Équilibres Conformationnels de Cyclohexènes Monosubstitutés en 4 et du Dicyano-1,2 Cyclohexane trans

The conformational free energies of CN, Cl and COOC₂H₅ substituents have been evaluated from the PMR spectra of 4-substituted 3,3,6,6-d₄-cyclohexene. The PMR spectra of trans-1,2-dicyano-3,3,6,6-d₄-cyclohexane permit the conformational equilibrium (in different solvents) and the gauche diequatorial interaction energy between the two CN substituents to be estimated.     

Polymérisation anionique du méthacrylate de méthyle par les organo-alcalins-I : Polymérisation en milieu solvant aprotonique, étude des tacticités

Anionic polymerizations of methylmethacrylate, initiated by fluorenyl-alkali metals in ether media or in hexamethyl phosphotriamide, give syndiotactic polymers. Calculated differential entropies and enthalpies of activation between the iso- and syndiotactic placements reveal that in dioxane, tetrahydropyrane and tetrahydrofurane the syndiotacticity increases from K⁺ to Li⁺. With solvents having higher dielectric constant (such as hexamethyl phosphotriamide) or higher donating power (such as glyme 4), the tacticity of the polymers is not affected by the nature of the counter-ions.

It has been suggested that, with dioxane, tetrahydropyrane and tetrahydrofurane, the donating power is not strong enough to destroy the coordination bonds between the C=O groups of the living polymer chains and the counter-ions.     

Observations par microscopie électronique de traces d'ions lourds dans le triacétate de cellulose

Tracks of heavy charged particles have been observed in cellulose acetate by conventional electron microscopy (100 kV) and by high voltage microscopy (1, 2 MV). The tracks are formed of successive islets following each other at distances of 70-150 Å. With the evolution of the diameter of these zones is shown the existence of a highly perturbed cylindrical volume (diameter 400 Å for the case of krypton) corresponding to regions in which free radicals have been created. The different techniques used do not allow observation of the latent track because of the complications of energetic phenomena: the electron beam current density being limited, the contrast is small and hence the resolution is restricted.     

Obtention de phosphore élémentaire et de phosphures de nickel par électrolyse de solutions de pentoxyde de phosphore dans des bains à base de cryolithe

By electrolysis of cryolitic solutions of P₂O₅, elementary pure phosphorus is obtained on carbon cathode and Ni phosphides on Ni cathode. The most probable mechanism of phosphorus formation in these conditions seems to be the final dissociation of P₂O₅ in P⁵⁺ and O^2? and the primary electrodic discharge of these ions.     

Complexation diastereoselective d''alcools benzyliques par le chrome hexacarbonyle. Difference de reactivite des diastereoisomeres en milieu acide.

Reaction of ortho alkyl or alkoxy phenyl carbinol with Cr(CO)₆ affords arene chromium tricarbonyl complexes with 38 to 86% of diastereoisomeric excess. The behavior of the two diastereoisomers shows a striking difference. Equimolar mixture of (RR,SS) and (RS,SR) diastereoisomers treated with concentrated sulfuric acid and methanol gives (RS,SR) ether while (RR,SS) alcool remains unchanged.     

Recherches sur le benzofuranne. LXII. Orientation de la nitration de benzofurannes substitués en 2 par un groupement électro-attracteur

Nitration of 2-acetyl-, 2-carbethoxy- and 2-cyanobenzofurans by nitric acid in acetic anhydride mostly succeeds on the 5 and 6 positions, and in some instances on the 4 position and possibly on the 7 position. Moreover, in the first two cases, the substituent     

Contribution à l'étude du comportement de la catéchine en milieu alcalin

Contribution to the study of the behaviour of catechin in alkaline medium When catechin ( 1 ) is warmed with aqueous alkali it first undergoes rapid epimerisation. After some time a novel bridged carbocyclic enol, catechinic acid ( 3 ) separates out and may be isolated in excellent yield. Eventually catechinic acid isomerises to 2-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,9-epoxy-6-oxo-bicyclo[3,3,1]-non-7-en-8,9-diol ( 4 ) via an open chain anion ( 5 ) which is also involved in the epimerisation of catechin. Assignments of structure are given and the equilibria observed are discussed.     

Nouvelle synthèse des composés polysubstitués d'esters de l'acide pyrrolecarboxylique-3 par réarrangement d'époxy-1,2 pyrrolidines

In presence of acides (HF/pyridine) substitutes 3-ethoxycarbonyl-6-oxal-azabicyclo[3.1.0[hexanes 1 afforded subtituted 3-ethoxycarbonyl-pyrroles 3 in stereospecific manner. Spiro substrates gave polycyclic product under the conditions used.     

Etude des fragmentations en spectrographie de masse de dithiolannes-1,3 substitués en 2 par des groupements insaturés

The mass spectra of the title compounds always show an intense molecular ion. Some fissions involve loss of the ethylenic group, while others are related to cleavage of the dithiolane ring, eventually followed by recyclizations involving the ethylenic chain, due to which resonance structures can be written. If a phenyl group is present in the ethylenic chain, the spectra are modified due to the formation of the very stable benzothiopyrylium ion.     

Etude des fragmentations en spectrographie de masse de dithiannes-1,3 substitués en 2 par des groupements insaturés

The mass spectra of the title compounds always show an intense molecular ion. Some fissions involve loss of the ethylenic group, while others are related to cleavage of the dithiane ring, eventually followed by recyclizations involving the ethylenic chain stabilized by the resonance possibilities. If a phenyl group is present in the ethylenic chain, the spectra are modified by the formation of the very stable benzothiopyrylium ion.     

Sur la réaction fluorescente de l'acide borique avec l'hydroxy-2-methoxy-4-chloro-4′-benzophénone (HMCB) en milieu sulfurique-acétique concentré et sur le rôle de certaines propriétés du milieu

By analogy with some colour reactions of boric acid, the intensity of fluorescence emission of the “boric acid-2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-4′-chloro-benzophenone” complex is found to be considerably increased in glacial acetic-concentrated sulfuric acid medium. This effect is studied with relation to some properties of the medium, especially acidity and viscosity.     

Étude par chromatographie liquide à haute pression des alcaloïdes de l''ergot

High-performance liquid chromatography of ergot alkaloid.

A method for the analysis of ergot alkaloids has been developed by high-performance liquid chromatography. A silica column was used for preparation of ergotinine and ergotoxine from ergot. Separation of the individual ergot alkaloids was successfully accomplished on a column of Hitachi Gel No. 3011-O (porous polystyrene modified by hydroxymethyl) with an eluent of n-hexane—ethanol—triethylamine (70:30:0.5, v/v). The method was applied to the analysis of -ergocryptinine, ergocorninine, ergocristinine, -ergocryptine, ergocornine and ergocristine in ergot and dihydroergocryptine ( + β), dihydroergocornine and dihydroergocristine in pharmaceutical tablets.
